The website part works fine, and is no problem. So does the FTP site.
The problem is process, not technology.
The part that goes tag->bundle->temp location->verify->main location
relies on only Marc to do it, and AFAIK nobody else can do that
(except the verify step, which Tom usually carries out, but that
others can do if he's not available).
Once it's in the main location, there are several different people who
can deal with the website parts.
